Chapter 139: Cutting Off Two Horns in a Row, It’s Too Insulting to Cows
Chu Xin reached out and grabbed the severed five-colored bull’s horn, pulling it towards her from a distance and examining it from all angles.
Five-colored lightning still lingered on the five-colored horn, but it wasn’t enough to harm Chu Xin.
“So pretty.”
Chu Xin’s eyes were filled with joy.
Although there were many, many beautiful treasures in the Spatial Ring, those were all left to her by her Dad. This five-colored horn, however, was the first beautiful treasure she had obtained herself.
“Such a beautiful horn, I wonder if it would be good for making soup.”
Looking at the horn in her hand, Chu Xin fell into thought.
“Forget it, this horn is so pretty, I’d better not eat it.”
After thinking for a moment, Chu Xin finally gave up the idea of using the five-colored horn for soup.
“Big Brother A’Niu and the others in the village like to hang beast horns and teeth around their necks. I’ll find a string later and hang this horn on me too. Hehe, their beast horns and teeth are only the size of a palm, but this horn is bigger than my head. They’ll be so envious, hehehehe.”
Thinking of the envious looks of the older brothers and sisters in the village surrounding her, Chu Xin couldn’t help but giggle with delight.
“What is that brat doing? Why is she giggling in the middle of a fight?”
“Who knows? The minds of brats are truly unfathomable.”
The numerous prodigies were dumbfounded. Any cultivator with a normal mindset would have taken advantage of the fact that the Five-Colored Kui Niu had lost a horn and hadn’t recovered yet to continue launching powerful attacks, striving to kill it in one fell swoop.
But this brat was just giggling there, holding the five-colored horn, wasting a perfect opportunity to kill the Five-Colored Kui Niu.
“Ai Chirou, what are you doing? Don’t get distracted during battle.”
Long Shaoyu couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted a reminder.
“Oh!”
Chu Xin put the five-colored horn into the Spatial Ring, looked at the Five-Colored Kui Niu, and muttered softly, “There’s still one horn left, I’ll cut it off and give it to Little Brother.”
At this moment, the recovered Five-Colored Kui Niu, in its rage, charged towards her with its remaining horn, breaking through the formation barrier.
Five-colored lightning swirled around it, and even more five-colored lightning gathered on its remaining horn, continuously absorbing the lightning that permeated Five Thunders Mountain as it ran, forming a rotating five-colored lightning drill.
Chu Xin blinked her big, round eyes, and her small body transformed into a giant sword covered in Divine Marks, slashing through the air towards the five-colored lightning drill.
“This brat is really tough.”
The corners of the prodigies’ mouths twitched. Just by sensing the terrifying aura of the five-colored lightning drill, they knew it was even stronger than the previous lightning ball. Yet, the brat still didn’t dodge or evade, choosing to confront it head-on.
Is it true that the younger you are, the less you fear trouble?
As they were thinking, a loud bang echoed, and the entire Five Thunders Mountain shook.
The giant sword formed by Chu Xin collided with the five-colored lightning drill formed by the Five-Colored Kui Niu, and the resulting shockwave dispersed the five-colored lightning on the mountaintop for a moment.
Fortunately, the prodigies were far away this time and were not affected by the energy.
However, Chu Chen, who was digging with his little butt sticking out, was caught off guard and fell on his bottom.
He got up, rubbed his little butt, looked back at the giant sword and the five-colored lightning drill locked in a stalemate in the air, and muttered, “So annoying.”
Then, he turned his head to look at the roots of the Five Thunders Tree, which were now mostly exposed, and his eyes filled with a sense of accomplishment.
“Almost done digging.”
After muttering a sentence, he continued to wield his small hoe, digging with his little butt sticking out.
◈◈◈
Break!
Just then, Chu Xin’s childish voice rang out.
The next moment, the giant sword shattered the five-colored lightning drill and flashed past the Five-Colored Kui Niu’s head, revealing Chu Xin’s petite figure behind it.
In her small, snow-white hand, she was holding another five-colored horn.
“Hiss! This brat is too strong.”
“The key is, she could have directly killed the Five-Colored Kui Niu, but she keeps aiming for its horns. This is too insulting. No, it’s too insulting to cows.”
The prodigies were shocked and speechless at the same time.
Any cultivator with a normal mindset would think about how to conserve energy and effort, how to kill the enemy with the least cost.
But this brat had no such thoughts at all.
She had two chances to kill the Five-Colored Kui Niu directly, but she chose to cut off its horns instead, wasting two opportunities.
Wasn’t she afraid that the Five-Colored Kui Niu would go berserk and turn the tables?
Moo!
The Five-Colored Kui Niu let out an angry roar. It didn’t feel pain from having its horns cut off, but having both horns cut off one after another made it extremely furious, and its violent aura reached its peak.
Suddenly, it opened its huge mouth and roared.
The inside of its mouth was pitch black, as if hiding a void space that could devour everything.
Roar!
Countless roars of thunder beasts echoed, and then, as if they had received some kind of command, they flew towards the Five-Colored Kui Niu one after another.
During their flight, their bodies rapidly shrank, and they finally drilled into the Five-Colored Kui Niu’s mouth, being devoured by it.
“The Five-Colored Kui Niu is devouring the thunder beasts? What kind of move is this?”
“I don’t know, I’ve never heard of the Five-Colored Kui Niu having this ability.”
The prodigies were all stunned when they saw this scene.
Even Lei Wanjun frowned, looking very puzzled, clearly unaware that the Five-Colored Kui Niu had such a hidden trump card.
“Do you think it’s possible that the Five-Colored Kui Niu triggered this hidden ability because it was humiliated by that brat? It never appeared before?” One of the prodigies said with some uncertainty.
“I think that makes sense. In the past, when other prodigies fought the Five-Colored Kui Niu, they might have cut off its horns, but it would never have been like this. That brat clearly has the strength to kill the Five-Colored Kui Niu, but she deliberately cuts off its horns without killing it. The level of humiliation is too obvious, which made the Five-Colored Kui Niu use this ability it has never used before.” Another prodigy chimed in.
“I think it’s very likely that the two brats wanted to dig up the Five Thunders Tree, which completely enraged the Five-Colored Kui Niu, causing it to use this ability that it had never used before.” Another prodigy offered a different opinion.
“That makes sense. Basically, every ten times the Nine Provinces Secret Realm opens, the Five Thunders Fruits will ripen once. Each time, the Five-Colored Kui Niu will be killed by the prodigies, and the Five Thunders Fruits will be taken. But the Five-Colored Kui Niu will always revive when the Five Thunders Tree bears fruit. If the Five Thunders Tree is dug up, the Five-Colored Kui Niu may never be able to revive again. Perhaps this is the reason why the Five-Colored Kui Niu went berserk.” Many other prodigies agreed with the second theory.
The prodigies were all discussing, each with their own reasoning.
“No, Big Bull, stop it.”
At this moment, seeing the Five-Colored Kui Niu devouring the thunder beasts, Chu Xin became very angry. She put the horn into the Spatial Ring and transformed into a giant sword again, charging towards the Five-Colored Kui Niu. Her childish voice echoed throughout Five Thunders Mountain.
“Bad bull, don’t eat my food.”
